9 String or 10 String guitar build?

Ideally I would like to build a 9 string guitar, but EMG 909X's just have a poor sound in my opinion and I could not find any other pickups for the 9 string . A 10 string would take too long and too much time to build, and there are no 10 string guitar pickups apart from custom made Extended Range Basses. Help anyone if there are any parts I could use to build any of these guitars.
